According to a study by the American Library Association, “The Color Purple” ranks among the fiction most commonly re-read. Others include the Harry Potter books, the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and Shakespeare’s plays.

I would imagine that the Guinness world book of records must be right up there
Quote:
In November 2003, Guinness World Records celebrated the publication of its 100 millionth copy! This confirms that, excluding non-copyright works such as the Bible and the Koran, the definitive book of world records is the world's best selling book.

I would say the Lord of the Rings. It's been around since 1954/55 and has been translated into at least 38 different languages.

Something religious, like the Bible or the Koran. After all, the Bible is the most circulated book in the world.

I would go with the Bible.
Jesus is the most recognizable face on the planet so it makes sense.
I would note, Micheal Jordan during the time of the 1st dream team, was the 2nd.

I don't know what is most commonly read, but the most sold book in the world is the Bible!

He clearly stated that he doesn't want any religious based books. Harry Potter is defenitely the highest...I don't know why, I hate it.

studies have shown the bible is the most bought, so it is probably most read.
next to which would have to be Harry Potter.
